You will read on this thread that I have decided not to go to Kroger grocery store. I was going to get food for the engineer as he will be here tomorrow evening or on Friday or both. I am well but I don't know what is killing these people so I'm not leaving my house. I will feed the engineer grocery stored food. There are big cans of beef stew and chicken/dumpling soup, plus I have Bertolli Italian meat sauce in glass jars and thin spaghetti stored in the freezer to cook.
It is his wife, my sister-in-law, who won't eat anything that comes out of a can. I wish she were here so she would have to choose to eat food that came out of a can or risk her life to go to a restaurant or grocery store. She is basically a scared puppy if anything happens (just went nuts one time when she was here, it was night, and power went off - now she keeps one of my flashlights with her at night afraid power will go off again.) If she thinks she might get sick if she leaves the house, she is staying in the house.
rightly, if you can when you leave the doctor's office, let us know if you are home. It is possible the doctor may put both of you in the hospital. Try to get word to us if they do put you in hospital.
Here is today's thread about the people in our county dying:

I read this A.M. that the people who contracted it tested negative for flu, whatever that means (H. influenzae and not a virus?). We had a nasty thing last Christmas through New Year’s (I actually had to use Asthmanefrin because I was moving so little air) and I wonder if this is the same thing.

That option was never really on the table. I was going home today, wasn’t sure about Carol, but I was. I played along till they reached the right decision. She wanted me to be seen, though I am much improved, just a serious wheeze. When she came out of the shower, partially clothed, sat done and went to crying that she couldn’t get dressed, it was on. She emailed the boss and other dept managers that she would not be there. She had coughed so hard that her joints hurt from the heavy cough and sore ribs. Along with headache, 101* fever, it was time to go.
Have been busy and not on line or listening to the news. Just have a few minutes this morning.
This is bad news. Rightly and Marcella you all stay safe and away from the genral population as much as possible.
Prayers up for all.
